Adhyaya 32: Saṃjaya’s Return, Audience with Dhṛtarāṣṭra, and Ethical Admonition
विदुर उवाच अभियुक्त बलवता दुर्बलं हीनसाधनम् | हृतस्वं कामिनं चोरमाविशन्ति प्रजागरा:,विदुरजी बोले--राजन! जिसका बलवानके साथ विरोध हो गया है, उस साधनहीन दुर्बल मनुष्यको, जिसका सब कुछ हर लिया गया है, उसको, कामीको तथा चोरको रातमें नींद नहीं आती
vidura uvāca abhi-yuktaḥ balavatā durbalaṁ hīna-sādhanam | hṛta-svaṁ kāminaṁ coram āviśanti prajāgarāḥ ||
毗度罗说道：“大王啊，被强敌挑衅的弱者、资用匮乏之人、财物被夺之人、为欲望所驱之人，以及盗贼——这些人夜里都难以安眠。因为内心的恐惧、贪求或罪疚会摧毁心神的宁静，使人彻夜不寐。”

Educational Q&A
Peace of mind depends on dharmic security and self-mastery: fear from conflict with the powerful, loss of resources, dispossession, uncontrolled desire, and the guilt/fear of theft all produce restless wakefulness.
Vidura is counseling the king in the Udyoga Parva, using a list of types of people who cannot sleep to warn about the mental torment caused by insecurity, craving, and wrongdoing—an ethical admonition relevant to royal conduct and policy.
